Speed Camera Revenge

[Guest thrasher]

Who said there isn't anything to do in Canberra.....

 

Two weeks ago a speed camera van in Canberra was approached by 4 youths. Whilst the camera operator was talking to three boys about the van's equipment and how it works, the fourth boy proceeded to undo the van's front number plate.

 

They then said good-bye to the operator, Went home and fixed the number plate to their car and proceeded to drive considerably over the speed limit 17 times through the speed camera radar.

 

Needless to say, there was considerable embarrassment by Urban services when the computer posted their own speeding fines to the department.

A bloke from Canberra told me about that. What still puzzles me is why they stole the plate instead of just making a fake one and putting that on their car. Surely it isn't to hard to make a plate which fools the camera?

 

PS apparently that van had been making a real nuisance of itself (revenue raising, not safety inforcing) so it serves them right.
